When I build a house, an estimate is just that, an estimate. It can easily cost more and it can just as easily cost less. Usually more than less. This is the same in body work. Who knows how many layers of paint they will go through or how much bondo (and/or rust). The only way to make it "firm" is to convert it to a "bid", which is usually expected not to change. The problem with a bid is customers usually take the lower bid and then the fun starts.
